Of course, while we can enjoy this payback, and speculate on how it must be giving the shivers to many a philandering White House staffer and member of Congress, it should also be a warning to us all that the FBI, the CIA, and the myriad other intelligence agencies littering the US landscape, these days have virtually limitless ability to monitor our every email message, tweet and phone call.

Petraeus is going to fall on his sword. and save his ass? Why? 1) because he is not the honorable, patriotic man he is being made out to be, 2)mhe has his family to think of, reduce their grief and protect as much of his income as possible, 3) [o]bama thugs have more fabricated lies to put out on him if he doesn't follow orders and 4) it is part of the human condition to protect the self above all else.
